2/12/69 is my favorite perfomance of The Eleven, though I cannot imagine how it could be mistaken for a tight rendition...

How so? By 'tight' do we mean 'concise'? Even then, there's little rambling involved, aside from the intro jam which still seems pretty sharp and focused to me.

How so?

Garcia has broken a string. He's absent for nearly 3/4 of the song. Weir slashes leads admirably, making for a blistering hot and unique rendition. But it's certainly not even close to tight playing...
